We all want the team to be successful.

Have you read this thread? Do you know what it's about?[/QUOTE]

I do.

At face value it is question of a corporate sponsor with a legitimate business on one hand, and an association (at the least) with a criminal organisation on the other amd who may be facing criminal charges in that context. A sensitive question of corporate ethics with no clear cut answer.

However for a few other posters it is more of an opportunity to continue an ongoing agenda which infects every thread.Hence the tricky ethical question of accepting sponsorship from an otherwise legitimate businessperson because of his associations (as opposed to any existing convictions or proven activities) gets distroted into a polarised position. There are innuendos that the board is dealing with organised criminals (by the same group of posters who regularly make innuendo about the heritage of the Club chairman to infer involvement in organised crime).

The same posters are so quick to pounce on any negativity; so gleeful in doing so, that they come across as a bunch of death-riding narks whose agenda is so important that it surpasses their interest in the team and CLUB being successful.

So yes Iknow what it is about. Do you?

Bigfella you have taken on the role of the Board's door bitch with gusto and I gotta say that you are doing a fine job. Relentless. Love the passion mate.

Bigfella, I think you would be better off supporting the Storm as you seem to have their attitude, success is an on-field only perception, doesn't matter how you get there as long as you win.

The purchase price of a business has sfa to do with its turnover or profitability.

of course, how silly of me..

the price of the business is directly related to how many cupholders the guy selling the business has in his car...



idiot..

If the earnings don't travel with the sale of the business the purchase price will be negligible.

Tattoo parlour would be a classic example. It could make a fortune because of either the particular artist or an association with a particular market. If those didn't remain the business could and probably would evaporate overnight.

Highly lucrative accounting businesses for example, are regularly valued at zero dollars in some contexts.

And businesses with low current turnover but significant potential often sell for big dollars.

Pretty juvenile responses.

I don't know that I'd expect much more from people who hunt in a pack.

Tell me, do you all agree with gronk and maroubra that flood victims with no insurance don't deserve to receive government or charity assistance? Wouldn't surprise me.

I'll await the next round of well argued, mature responses. Better wai until your kid get home from daycare to write them for you though.

Accountancy practices are a classic example of a business whose price is based purely on their fees.

Industry practice is you pay between 80c to $1.00 for each $1 in fee purchased...either that or I just paid close to a $1m for a share in an accountancy practice worth nothing!!!!

how to defend the undefendable 101
step 1,
Just make up anything and try to sell it as fact,
if this fails go to step 2

step 2,
Try to question the maturity of the posters to makeout they are young and immature,
fail go to step 3,

step 3,
try to discredit chief antagonist, by questioning their integrity,
fail go to step 4.

Step 4,
if all else fails just try to insult everybody.

LOL! So now the media are getting crime gangs for some good Parra coverage.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.
